🌿🍄 Wild Mushroom Identification Walks 🍄🌿
Explore the Fascinating Fungi of Northeast Ohio!

Join us for a guided wild mushroom identification event at Case Western Reserve University Farm! Over three consecutive Saturdays—April 26th, May 3rd, and May 10th, from 10 AM to noon—you’ll learn how to safely identify local wild mushrooms, understand their ecological roles, and distinguish edible species from toxic lookalikes.

On our walks, we may discover Morels, Wood Ear, and Oyster Mushrooms, along with other springtime treasures like Ramps and Fiddlehead Ferns! Led by experienced foragers, this hands-on experience is perfect for beginners and seasoned nature enthusiasts alike. Whether you're a foodie, a hiker, or just curious about fungi, you’ll gain valuable skills for foraging with confidence.

🔹 Where: Case Western Reserve University Farm
🔹 When: Saturdays, April 26th, May 3rd, & May 10th | 10 AM - 12 PM
🔹 What to Bring: Sturdy shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, a notebook, and curiosity!
